Droid Touchscreen Less Accurate Than iPhone's

gyrogeerloose writes "A test published by MOTO labs comparing the accuracy and sensitivity of smartphone touchscreens among various makers gave the iPhone top marks ahead of HTC's Droid Eris, the Google-branded Nexus One and the Motorola Droid. The test was conducted within a drawing program using a finger to trace straight diagonal lines across the screens and then comparing the results. While it's not likely that a smart phone user is going to draw a lot of lines, the test does give some indication of which phones are most likely to properly respond to clicking on a link in a Web browser."

    They compared the iPhone, an HTC phone running android, another HTC phone running Android, and a Motorola running Android .... ..at something they are all not very good at

    and they left out the devices that are good at it ... and the iPhone "won"

    the obligatory Car analogy

    This is like testing a Lambourghini, Ferrari and a rebadged Ferrari, and Concluding that the Lambo is the best because it is only moderately bad at off-roading and ignoring a 4x4 !!
